North Cornwall

North Cornwall and the
Atlantic Coast

Europe's finest surfing beaches are on the North Cornwall coast, with Newquay being the Capital of European Surfing.

Newquay for the surfers, Boscastle for the beautiful scenery seekers, Tintagel for the Arthurian history trail trekkers, and Port Isaac for Doc Martin..?

You know, the British television comedy drama starring Martin Clunes as the tactless doctor of Port Wenn.

Port Wenn is actually filmed on location in the remote fishing village of Port Isaac.

Nearby Port Quin was actually called Port Wen long ago.

Trebarwith Strand offers almost a mile long stretch of unbroken golden sands, with awe-inspiring surfing, swimming and rock pooling.

The little villages of Boscastle, Crackington and Tintagel cling to the North Cornwall coast's dramatic cliffs.

Boscastle is a romantic and picturesque fishing village with a distinctive harbour, steeped in history.

Crackington is a great place at any time of the year, with twisting lanes, dramatic cliffs, sand, surf and superb beach combing.

Like no other place, Tintagel conjures the supreme Arthurian atmosphere. The village, with its gift shops and tea rooms, is surrounded by beautiful countryside and rugged Cornish cliffs with wild coves. But it is Tintagel Castle, with its mysterious ruins clinging to its windswept island that says it all - don't miss it.

Oh! Did you know Newquay even has a Zoo?

Whatever it is you like the most, Cornwall has lots of it!
